Aamir reveals Fakhar’s secret of success

Former captain of Pakistan Aamir Sohail has said the double centurion Fakhar Zaman will play a crucial role in the upcoming Asia Cup.

In an interview he said the reason behind Fakhar’s success has to be his positive approach. Regardless what the situation is, he goes out and bats positively.

The former opening batsman said, "He [Zaman] doesn't allow any bulls to fight in his head, and knows that going out and playing positive cricket is what's best for him. That has been the key to his success."

The 28-year-old became the quickest batsman in ODI history to score 1,000 runs and also scored the first double century for Pakistan in the same against Zimbabwe in July.

Speaking about the home advantage that Pakistan will have in UAE, Sohail said, the Green Shirts will definitely have the upper hand.

"Pakistan will definitely have an upper hand against all the teams as they have played in the UAE more than everybody else," said Sohail.

However, he cautioned the team about taking their opposition too lightly.

Pakistan will start their Asia Cup campaign against Hong Kong on September 16. They will then take on arch-rivals India on September 19.
